DesignSilc

Retail and POS software development company

DesignSilc is a global retail software development company with teams in Dhaka, Austin and the UK, serving clients in 38+ countries. We build point-of-sale, inventory and loyalty systems for supermarkets, retail chains and single stores. Our POS software handles barcode billing, multiple payment methods, branch stock, purchase orders and tax invoices, and keeps billing running offline during internet or power interruptions, so counters never stop serving customers, even during seasonal peaks such as Black Friday or Eid.

Retailers increasingly sell in-store, on a website and through social channels at the same time. We connect POS, eCommerce and stock into one inventory so a product sold online is not sold twice at the counter, and configure tax from sales tax in the USA and VAT in the UK to NBR VAT (Mushak) in Bangladesh. Since 2015 we have delivered 1,000+ projects, and we can start with one branch and roll out chain-wide. Every POS now comes with AI built in: it forecasts sales per branch, builds purchase orders and spots cash drawer issues, so store managers keep shelves full and losses low.

Mobile apps for retail owners and shoppers

We build Android and iOS apps that let owners see live sales, stock and branch performance from anywhere, and let staff count stock or receive goods by scanning barcodes with a phone. Shopper apps can offer loyalty points, home delivery or click-and-collect orders and in-app payment. Multi-language interfaces including English, Arabic and Bangla, and an offline mode for counters, keep the system usable during network and power interruptions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does your POS software work without internet?

Yes. DesignSilc builds POS software with an offline mode, so counters keep billing, printing receipts and recording payments during internet outages. Sales and stock changes are stored locally and synced to the central server when the connection returns, which keeps branch stock and head-office reports accurate without stopping the queue.

Can the POS print VAT or sales tax invoices for my country?

Yes. DesignSilc configures POS invoices with the tax details, business registration numbers and fields your tax adviser confirms, for example UK VAT, US sales tax, GCC VAT or Mushak-6.3 formats built to support NBR requirements. Sales and tax registers are available as reports, which makes periodic tax return preparation simpler for your accounts team.

How much does custom POS software for a supermarket cost?

The cost depends on the number of branches and counters, hardware integrations, loyalty features and whether you need eCommerce sync or mobile apps. DesignSilc gives a fixed quote after a free discovery call for clients in the USA, UK, Middle East and South Asia. Many retailers start with an MVP POS and inventory for one outlet, then add loyalty, apps and more branches in phases.

How long does it take to set up a custom POS for a retail chain?

A first release of a custom POS and inventory system typically takes 8 to 14 weeks, depending on product data, hardware and reporting needs. DesignSilc usually pilots at one branch, fixes issues found by cashiers, and then rolls the system out to remaining outlets in planned stages.

Can POS stock sync with my website and social shop?

Yes. DesignSilc connects POS inventory with Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom website, so online orders reduce the same stock as counter sales. Orders from Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp can be entered into the same system, and delivery can be booked through courier or carrier APIs, which suits retailers who sell across several channels.

What AI features does DesignSilc retail POS software include?

The POS includes demand forecasting per branch, automatic transfer suggestions from the warehouse, smart purchase orders and supplier invoice reading at goods receiving. Store teams get expiry waste alerts, shrinkage hot-spot detection and cash drawer anomaly checks. Marketing gets personalised offers and win-back campaigns for loyalty members, plus promotion uplift analysis. Managers can ask the AI copilot for any report in plain English and get a short summary every morning.

Can Claude, ChatGPT or our own AI agents connect to the POS?

Yes, through the MCP server included with every system. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own agents can look up sales, stock, expiring items or cash variances using secure tools. Access is role-based: a branch manager's assistant sees that branch, while head office sees the whole chain. Price changes, purchase orders, transfers and SMS campaigns are only drafted by AI and wait for a person to approve them, with every action written to an audit log. Pick the AI model you trust, hosted in the cloud or privately.
